Goya Foods and Tom Homan Unite to Address Child Trafficking Crisis

Goya Foods Launches Initiative Against Child Trafficking

In a pressing effort to combat the ongoing crisis of child trafficking in the United States, Goya Foods has announced a significant partnership with Border Czar Tom Homan and renowned investigative journalist Sara Carter. This collaboration aims to locate and reunite over 325,000 missing children as part of the Human Trafficking Awareness Month campaign.

The Mission of Goya Cares

Goya Cares, the company's global initiative committed to protecting children from trafficking, abuse, online exploitation, and mental health issues, aims to confront this escalating epidemic. The partnership is particularly essential as the number of missing children has tragically surged from 85,000 in 2023 to over 325,000 this year alone, underscoring the urgency for collective action.

Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods, described the human trafficking crisis as "the greatest evil of our time," emphasizing the need for prioritizing efforts to protect vulnerable youth.

The Voices of Experience

Tom Homan, underscoring his extensive experience with the issue, lamented the tragic stories of children trafficked into the United States, many facing unimaginable horrors such as forced labor and sexual exploitation. Homan stated, "It is time for our nation to unite in the fight against trafficking and save these children. They are all gifts from God."

Sara Carter, who has witnessed the harrowing realities of human trafficking, echoing these sentiments, highlights the critical role of media and advocacy in raising awareness. She remarked, "We have a moral obligation to fight back, protect the vulnerable, and locate those lost in our systems."

Collaborative Community Efforts

With the launch of this initiative, Goya Cares is set to harness community engagement to not only raise awareness but also educate others on how to spot and prevent trafficking. The collaborative efforts aim to bring together businesses, governmental organizations, and parents in the community to safeguard children’s rights and well-being.

The approach taken by Goya Foods is multidimensional and aims to educate on various facets of human trafficking, from recognizing the signs to understanding preventative measures. The initiative encourages individuals to actively participate in spreading awareness and supporting local resources.
